The "changes" don't actually change anything. Mercs still get the same powers with the same nonexistent damage, just in a different order. Again, until the raw numbers get boosted, nothing else you do matters. The onus is on the "yay" side to demonstrate something has actually been gained, and you haven't even tried. The best you can offer is to wave the holy book of "Trust the Devs" in everyone's face and demand we prove a negative.

Changing the name of the power does jack shit. It's the NUMBERS that are the problem, and the patch does nothing to address those. - Tier 1-2 pets are still worthless against anything that cons higher than yellow to the player. - Mercs still hit like wet noodles even before you consider their reliance on the most-resisted damage type in the game. MMOs are, ultimately, about numbers. Literally nothing else is relevant if the raw numbers aren't there to make it count. These patch notes are less than a joke.

The Zig is swiss-cheese regardless; given how much damage the interior maps show, it's impressive it still functions as a prison. But I stand by my point. You do NOT use non-lethal force on Nazis.

Like a great many contacts in the game, Numina is there primarily to try and railroad you into pointless tours of Paragon City. If she were half as good a psychic as the lore shills her, the street-hunt phase of the TF would not exist - she'd know where to send you.

How about that fuck-ugly troll mob never spawns again for any reason?

Pretty sure that horse won't be allowed a peaceful death until KD becomes the default, like it should have been when the game launched.

Pretty sure Council/5th Column have access to some sort of fast-growth mass-cloning tech to keep up with losses from rampaging supers. These are theme-park Nazis; ain't nobody but the most boyscout-of-boyscout idealists using non-lethal force here. Would also explain how I just beat down Archon Roget with his own thesaurus for the third time this afternoon.

That's called "serves you right".

Forced PvP is good for one thing, and one thing only: giving bullies a fresh supply of victims. That's what posts like this are looking for, whether they want to admit it or not.

- Fun - PvP in a PvE zone Pick only one. Unless you're a griefer, in which case I don't want to know you.

Kinda pointless to barrel ahead while stragglers are still up in the first mission of a Yin TF in any case, as most of those packs have to be fully cleared to open the next part of the mission.

The lab is UNDER the bar, naturally. It's a superhero world, every neighborhood has at least one hidden lab.

Think I've seen a couple of those.

Helium is a noble gas and can be used to block all sorts of chemical reactions by replacing one or more of the components needed for said reaction. This includes snuffing out most fires via excluding oxygen. You can also easily suffocate someone by pumping their lungs full of it. Violin Control

Yeah, I just go to the P2W and set it to reject yellows. No point in wasting limited consumable space on stuff that does jack shit. As for SNES games cheating, there's actually some nuggets of truth there; AI opponents cheating left and right is well documented in many older gen games. Many games don't even try to hide that the AI is using a different rulebook from the player.

Same thing that bottlenecks bitcoin miners: fried hardware.

Ambush farms did something similar back in the day - not enough enemies in the map? Just spawn more. But all those extra enemies spawning in put a ton of strain on the servers, so they killed it dead with nerfs.

When I find myself agreeing with arcane, somebody's way out to lunch.

Well, unlike the lion's share of NFTs currently floating around, the people doing this actually own what they're selling. Still doesn't excuse this shit.

I'm holding out for a giant gavel.

Spent about a month with no internet as a consequence of needing to move apartments on short notice (long story); much confusion was had, and internet was about the last thing I got sorted out. Needless to say, I didn't spend much time logged in during that month.

Wrong, every time?

Originally, yes. This was dropped after a few years as the devs realized what a boneheaded design it was.

There's a few temp powers at a vendor in the Vanguard base. The HVAS power core being the most useful of the lot.
